Greetings (aka: Howdy) from Texas
« on: November 22, 2023, 09:42:46 PM »
Well, you got the name and location, what else is there?  Oh yeah --
My wargaming experience began with Blitzkrieg (a board game) a few decades back and never went very far.  Then recently my interest was revived and I was trying to decide between Napoleonic and English Civil War.  My dilemma was solved when my son gifted me a regiment of 28mm ECW/TYW and the Pike and Shotte rulebook.  Then he gave me a bunch of other figures.  Now I've painted several hundred (or is it several million) little army guys for that conflict.

Also,
Bloody Broadsides - Napoleonic Naval Warfare.

Waiting in the wings are the following - still in the boxes:

- Warlord Games Stalingrad set (WW2 in 28mm)
-     "          "      American Civil War starter set in "Epic" scale

Also.
- Some misc. 15mm American Civil war and Revolutionary war to which I have applied some primer.

Something else I'll be painting as a gift for my son (shhhh, it's a secret)

AND my latest fascination which I haven't purchesed anything for yet - African Bush Wars.  I'm wanting to go with 20mm but can't find a good source in the USA.  (Purchasing from overseas is problematic, something to do with my bank card not working for overseas transactions.  I'm probably on a watch list because all my conspiracy theories turned out to be true.)

- I found the forum while searching for more information on sources for Rhodesian minis, etc, and what rules to use.

Inara: It sounds like something this crew can handle. I can't guarantee they'll handle it particularly well, but...
Nandi: If they've got guns and brains at all...
Inara: They've got guns.

My mate Flatpack (aka Bob) is into 20mm Rhodesia.
Keep it quiet, but I do owe him a farm for that. ;)

Thank you all for the welcome (and the link).  I'm sure I'll have a few comments to make in the forums - and thousands of questions.

No doubt.  But I could probably someday soon be a contender in the "most unpainted miniatures" category.
